This $6,700 device is the first to mix luxury with toughness in an Android smartphone. The device itself is fairly good, but it’s definitely not designed for the average tech nerd. Most of us can’t afford its price, so it’ll probably be directed towards rich/powerful/famous people. The popular watch maker, Tag Heuer, has decided to make this a device that looks nice and fancy, while enduring all the rough conditions you may put it through.

As Android fans, we like options, and Tag Heuer’s Link Phone has some! The device comes in three flavorful designs: Steel, 18k rose gold (now you can say you have a gold phone!) and titanium. While these metals are great, Tag Heuer has also mixed in other fancy materials, including rubber, leather, alligator skin to match your boots and even diamonds. Check out the designs below!

Now that we’ve accessorized your wardrobe, let’s get down to business. The specs aren’t too bad compared to other devices out there, but they’re definitely not $6,700 good.

Tag Heuer Link Phone Specifications:

Android 2.2 Froyo

5 MP camera with auto focus

3.5-inch display (800×480)

256 MB Internal Memory, with 8 GB micro SD card

1400 mAh battery

Those who purchase this device probably won’t care too much about specs. What really matters about these phones is the design and the exclusivity. Check out the dramatic video below, and let us know if you’d be interested in one of these bad boys! I’d personally go with the stainless steel and black alligator skin, if I was rich and didn’t care about specs. What’s your pick?

Unlike anything else on the luxury market, the TAG Heuer LINK is a high-performance machine of unprecedented functionality. Extreme reliability and robustness are guaranteed through a battery of quality tests well exceeding industry standards.

Stand out features include lightning-fast connectivity, 16-million color screen resolution, a large 3.5’’ display, a high-definition 5-mega-pixel auto-focus camera, 11 hours of music play time, and, through its avant-garde Android operating system, download access to over 250,000 applications. It also comes fully loaded with a host of TAG Heuer add-ons: customized screen designs,widgets, animations, wallpapers, icons and ring tones.

Swiss Watchmaking tradition allied with the latest in high-tech telephony

The TAG Heuer LINK is instantly recognizable as a top-end TAG Heuer product, avant-gardeboth for its ergonomic design and its very contemporary elegance. Motion, purity, curve, precision, a shimmering dynamism in its form and silhouette – these are its signature values.

The luxury handset is composed of classic watch components and cutting-edge technology. Fully shockproof, the body is engineered like the case of a TAG Heuer watch. As airtight and locked-down as a strong box, it provides full protection of the precious contents – your videos, photos, files and data – sealed in its interior.

Other signature TAG Heuer references include the screws on the handset’s reinforced chassis, which echo those on the casebacks of TAG Heuer chronographs. The unique autolock system on the side, which gives quick access to the SIM card, the connection port and the memory card, sports the TAG Heuer’s shield in black lacquer and looks like a classic TAG Heuer timepiece crown.

A luxury design object of ultimate prestige and performance

Luxuriously crafted and detailed, the TAG Heuer LINK incorporates the most prestigious materials and advanced components in the watchmaking and automotive worlds, including black PVD, diamonds and rose gold. The mirror-polished and fine-brushed stainless steel is premium grade surgical 316L, corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic. The big display front is made from visually stunning, lightweight, and highly damage-resistant Gorilla glass®. The exclusive, hand-worked coverings are in calfskin, alligator or lizard. Every material, precious stone and exotic skin or leather is sourced within the strictest industry standards.

Exclusively launched in TAG Heuer retailers in July 2011, the TAG Heuer LINK is the essential work hard/play instrument, ideal for business and entertainment. Like thewatchmaking heritage that inspires it, it delivers avant-garde luxury with uncompromisingstrength, precision and reliability. A communications instrument of uncompromised calibreand capabilities, it shares the pinnacle of high-performance engineering and innovation with its partner, the MERIDIIST.

Hi everybody,

a friend of mine has this Tag Heuer cell phone and has the problem, that the touch screen does not react …
So he wanted to reset the phone, but no idea how to restart it, unless I told him to wait until it rus out of battery/akku.

Has anybody an idea how he can restart or reset it, but the data should remain ;-)
